DISPLAY DEVICE.

* .dpplication filed September 8, 1924. Serial No. 736,391.

T 0 all whom; it may concern. a I Be it known that I, Anonrrr Dm'rsonn,Junior, a citizen of the United States, and a residentof New York,borough of Queens, in the county of Queens and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Display Devices, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to display devices and particularly to devices ofthe class specified wherein the device is formed of sheet material andis supported in display position by means of an article or package towhich the display directs attention.

The object of my improvements is to provide a device of the characterspecified simple in construction, economical of material and which maybe erected simply by bending on its scored lines.

To these ends and others which will appear later herein my improvementscomprise features illustrated in their preferred embodiment in thedrawing accompanying this specification wherein Figure 1 is aperspective elevation of the device in erected position and Fig. 2 is anelevation of the device in flat form ready for erection or packing forshipment.

Said device comprises a front display member 2 of fanciful contour, thearbitrary form shown being that of two boys playing at leapfrog.

The upper part 2 of said front is preferably of rectangular contour andis wider than the body portion 2 thereof.

That portion 2 of said front extending to one side of the lower portionhas a lower horizontal edge 7 to which is articulated rearwardlyreaching top member 3 and the lower edge of front 2 has a similarrearwardly reaching base member at articulated thereto at 10.

Said base member f extends rearwardly a greater distance than doesmember and is provided at the rear thereof with a transverse ear 5 tothe front edge 9 of which is articulated back member 6. The upper edgeof said back member 6 is articulated at 8 to the rear edge of top 3.Preferably the depth of top 3, from folding line 7 to folding line 8 isequal to the depth of base a, from the lower edge 10 of body 2 to thefront edge 9 of ear 5, whereby back 6 is parallel with body 2.

Alsofor simplicity of, C'0nstruction the infacing edges 11 and 12 of top3 and back 6, respectively, are complementary to the infaeing edges 13and 14, respectively, of front 2 and base 4.

I claim: s

. 1. In adevice of the character described the combination of a front,the upper por tion of which extends transversely from the lower portionthereof, a top member articulated to and extending rearwardly from thelower edge of said upper portion of the front, a base member articulatedto the lower edge of said front and extending rearwardly therefrom, saidbase member having a transversely extending ear at its rear, a backmember articulated at its lower edge to an edge of the ear of said basemember and at its upper edge to the rear edge of said top member.

2. In a device of the character described the combination of a front,the upper portion of which extends transversely from the lower portionthereof, a top member articulated to and extending rearwardly from thelower edge of said upper portion of the front, a base member articulatedw the lower edge of said front and extending rearwardly therefrom, saidbase member having a transversely extending ear at its rear, a backmember articulated at its lower edge to the front edge of the ear ofsaidbase member and at its upper edge to the rear edge of said topmember.

8. In a device of the character described the combination of a front,the upper portion of which extends transversely from the lowerportionthereof, a top member articulated to and extending rearwardly from thelower edge of said upper portion of the front, a base member articulatedto the lower edge. of said front and extending rearwardly therefrom,said base member having a transversely extending ear at its rear, a backmember articulated at its lower edge to the front edge of the ear ofsaid base member and at its upper edge to the rear edge of said topmember, the infacing edges of said front and base being complementary tothe infacing edges of said top and back.

4. In a device of the character described the combination of a front,the upper portion of which extends transversely from the lower portionthereof, a top member articulated to and extending rearwardly from thelower edge of said upper portion of the front, a base member articulatedto the lower edge of said front and extending rearwardly therefrom, saidbase member having a transversely extending ear at its rear, a backmember articulated at its lower edge to the front edge of the ear ofsaid base member and at its upper edge to the rear edge of said topmember, the depth of said top being equal to the depth of said base fromits line of articulation with said front to the line of articulation ofits ear with said back, whereby said front and back are parallel.

5. In a device of the character described the combination of a front,the upper portion of which extends transversely from the lower portionthereof, a top member articulated to and extending rearwardly from thelower edge of said upper portion of the front, a base member articulatedto the lower edge of said front and extending rearwardly therefrom, saidbase member having a transversely extending car at its rear, a backmember articulated at its lower edge to the front edge of the ear ofsaid base member and at its upper edge to the rear edge of said topmember, whereby said front and back are parallel.

In witness whereof, I hereby affix my signature this 2nd day ofSeptember, 1924;.

ADOLPH DIETSCHE, JR.
